Business Needs with Workday Extend
Every growing business faces its breaking point: juggling outdated systems, manual spreadsheets, and endless paperwork just to keep HR running.
Workday Extend helps by letting you build applications right inside Workday—no complex coding, no external platforms, and no guesswork.
From a recruiter’s lock-in tool that maintains clear candidate ownership to a mobile Goals App that turns strategy into action, Extend empowers your teams to create solutions that fit your exact needs.
Here’s a look at how some of our favourite Extend-powered apps are making work better for HR teams, employees, and business leaders.
Applicant Lock-in App: Clear Ownership for Every Hire
Recruitment can get messy when it’s unclear who’s responsible for each candidate. The Applicant Lock-in App solves this by letting recruiters “lock” a candidate to themselves within Workday.
Here’s how it helps:
-
Crystal-Clear Accountability: Every candidate is assigned to a recruiter, making ownership unambiguous throughout the hiring process.
-
Effortless Commission Tracking: The app automates commission calculations and tracks payouts for successful hires, so no more spreadsheet gymnastics or payment disputes.
-
Less Conflict, More Productivity: With ownership visible in Workday, recruitment teams waste less time sorting out who did what—and more time finding great talent.
Goals App (Web and Mobile): Turning Ambition into Action
Too often, goal-setting feels like a once-a-year paperwork exercise. Workday Extend changes the game with a Goals App that actually helps people perform:
-
Easy Employee Experience: Team members select and manage goals tied directly to business priorities, all in a streamlined interface—on desktop or mobile.
-
Simpler Admin Control: HR and managers can configure and update goal templates at the organization level, keeping everything aligned with strategy and ready for what’s next.
-
Mobile-First Engagement: Employees set, track, and celebrate their achievements wherever they are—perfect for today’s flexible workplaces.
CV Generator: Showcasing the Best of Your Workforce
Whether it’s for a promotion, a new project, or an external opportunity, having a polished CV at your fingertips is priceless.
The CV Generator app in Workday Extend puts the power in your team’s hands:
-
From Profile to CV in Minutes: Employees and managers can create resumes—full or one-page—directly from worker profiles.
-
Personal Touches Welcome: Users can review, edit, and add extra details before finalizing, ensuring every CV is accurate and impactful.
